IATA and Amadeus integrate CO2 emissions data into travel platform
Post Views: 41 The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Amadeus have announced the integration of IATA CO2 Connect's flight-specific emissions data into the Amadeus Travel Platform, a move that enhances transparency and sustainability in air travel. Through this integration, airlines, travel agents, corporate travel managers, and online travel platforms can now access and display accurate CO2 emissions data at the point of booking. This new functionality allows travellers to make more environmentally informed decisions based on a trusted data source. Willie Walsh, Director General, IATA, stated, 'Our agreement with Amadeus will help fulfil traveller expectations for greater transparency as airlines progress towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050. IATA surveys reveal that close to 90% of passengers expect airlines or travel agents to provide carbon emission data for flights they have booked. Yet, 79% highlight that the carbon calculations provided are not always consistent. Making IATA CO2 Connect data available through the Amadeus platform will help users make more informed travel decisions using accurate emissions data.' IATA CO2 Connect leverages real-world operational data — including aircraft type-specific fuel consumption — directly provided by more than 70 global airlines. The data is calculated using a globally standardised methodology, ensuring reliability and comparability across different carriers and flight routes.

Corus touts new stars, old hits in plans for Global, specialty channels Home, Flavour
TORONTO - Corus Entertainment is touting new stars and returning hits to its flagship channel Global and specialty networks including Home, Flavour, History, National Geographic and Slice. That includes the first full season of programming for newly branded cooking channel Flavour and design and renovation channel Home, which launched in December after Corus lost rights to carry Food Network Canada and HGTV Canada, now with Rogers. Among the previously announced shows on the 2025/26 Home lineup are 'Building Baeumler,' starring renovation stars Bryan and Sarah Baeumler, and 'Life is Messy,' a series from Scott Brothers Entertainment about overwhelmed homeowners. Also on the way this fall are two budget-friendly offerings from Canadians — Natalie Chong with 'Rentovation' and self-taught DIYer Kristen Coutts with 'Beer Budget Reno.' Flavour Network's Canadian shows include 'Halloween Bakeshop' and 'Holiday Bakeshop,' hosted by Canadian actress and comedian Lauren Ash, and a 12th season of 'Top Chef Canada.' The Corus plans come as Rogers' detailed plans for HGTV Canada and Food Network Canada that it described as 'bigger and more impactful' than what came before. Last June, Rogers announced it had scored 'milestone' multi-year deals with Warner Bros. Discovery to secure rights to several lifestyle brands from Corus Entertainment and Bell Media, including HGTV, Food Network and Discovery. In December, Corus launched Flavour Network and Home Network to replace the channel positions for Food Network Canada and HGTV Canada, which debuted under the Rogers banner in January. The programming details land after Corus reported a second-quarter loss with revenues down 10 per cent compared to a year ago. Corus said other returning Flavour shows include 'Morimoto's Sushi Master,' 'Adam Richman Eats Britain,' 'Kitchen Nightmares' and 'Wild Game Kitchen.' Over on Showcase, Corus' deal with NBCUniversal will bring the Greg Daniels mockumentary 'The Paper,' starring Domhnall Gleeson; the espionage thriller 'The Copenhagen Test' with Simu Liu; and the spy thriller 'PONIES' with Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson. Also coming is the new Sky limited series 'Amadeus,' with Will Sharpe as the musical genius Amadeus and Paul Bettany as court composer, Antonio Salieri. W Network highlights include the Peacock mystery 'All Her Fault,' with Sarah Snook as a mother whose son goes missing while on his first playdate, and the dark comedy, 'The 'Burbs' starring Keke Palmer, in which a young couple reluctantly move to the husband's childhood home. Celebrities anchor several new shows including the History Channel's 'WWII with Tom Hanks,' 'History's Deadliest with Ving Rhames,' and 'Hazardous History with Henry Winkler,' while Ryan Reynolds narrates the National Geographic animal series 'Underdogs,' and Slice adds the six-part docuseries 'Tiffany Haddish Goes Off,' which follows the star and her three girlfriends on a trip to Africa. In children's fare, YTV adds 'The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball,' about a blue cat and his goldfish brother in Elmore, Calif., while Treehouse welcomes 'Thomas & Friends: Sodor Sings Together,' where the engines prepare a musical surprise performance. On Monday, Corus also detailed high-profile U.S. imports headed to its Global, including CBS' new hour-long crime drama from executive producer Dick Wolf, 'CIA,' starring Tom Ellis as a 'loose cannon CIA case officer. Also new is the ensemble comedy 'DMV' with Tim Meadows, the singing competition 'The Road,' in which country star Keith Urban tries to discover the next big artist and 'Sheriff Country,' starring Morena Baccarin in an expansion of CBS' 'Fire Country' universe. Returning fall shows include 'Survivor,' '9-1-1,' 'FBI,' 'Matlock,' 'NCIS,' 'NCIS: Origins' and 'Elsbeth.' A second season of the Canadian-made 'Murder in a Small Town' will return with Marcia Gay Harden in the cast while homegrown true crime series 'Crime Beat' will launch a seventh season. Returning mid-season shows include the Global original 'Family Law,' 'Watson' and 'Hollywood Squares.' Mid-season will also see the competition show 'America's Culinary Cup,' hosted by Padma Lakshmi, a new drama from Taylor Sheridan's 'Yellowstone' family with the working title, 'Y: Marshals' and the unscripted series, 'Harlan Coben's Final Twist,' in which the bestselling author steps into the true-crime television genre.

Can AI Change Travel Without Sacrificing Trust? Insights from Amadeus' Head of Research
Rodrigo Acuna Agost of Amadeus explains how AI is shaping the future of travel while building trust through responsible data practices. Amadeus powers much of the global travel ecosystem, processing around 3 billion flight searches every day. As Head of Research and AI Center of Excellence, Rodrigo Acuna Agost leads efforts to turn this vast data into smarter travel experiences. At the upcoming Skift Data + AI Summit, Rodrigo will share how Amadeus uses artificial intelligence to personalize journeys, improve operations, and enhance customer satisfaction. His work highlights both the potential and challenges of AI in travel. Balancing innovation with ethics, Amadeus is pioneering a Responsible AI Framework to ensure technology is applied transparently and fairly, maintaining trust with customers and partners worldwide. What's one of the most exciting ways you're using data right now to make business or customer decisions? 'No data, no AI!' 'Amadeus connects many travel industry participants, allowing us to process large amounts of data. This facilitates innovation and the improvement of experiences for both travelers and customers.' 'Today, we already operate at scale thanks to this. To give some examples, Amadeus processes approximately 3 billion flight search requests every day! Additionally, our solutions enable our customers to make well-informed decisions through the use of advanced insights, including artificial intelligence. We strive to ensure a seamless and efficient experience throughout their journey.' 'We firmly believe that AI has the potential to greatly enhance every stage of a traveler's journey: from personalized content that sparks imagination and encourages them to explore new destinations, through enhanced traveler-centric search and shopping experiences, personalized customer operations, to the evaluation of customer sentiment post-trip.' How are you balancing innovation with responsible data governance? 'Any new technology comes with its opportunities and challenges. While AI brings exciting options, it also introduces potential risks such as bias, data privacy issues, intellectual property conflicts, and cybersecurity threats. To manage those risks, we are adapting our processes and policies to implement a Responsible AI Framework that will enable us to adhere to the European AI Act, as well as any other emerging relevant AI regulations relevant for our global operations.' 'Is it a constraint? Not at all! It ensures we comply with our values and ethical principles and reinforces the trust we have built with our customers, partners and employees, while pushing the boundaries of AI knowledge in travel with a drive to improve the overall travel experience.' What emerging trends in AI or data are you watching most closely right now? 'AI is progressing rapidly, with research updates and announcements occurring almost daily. Our Research team tracks these trends and exploratory projects. These programs help us to identify where to focus more while keeping monitoring any progress.' 'In 2025, we are focusing on two major areas: Agentic AI: Agentic AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that can act autonomously, make decisions, and perform tasks without human intervention. In the travel industry, agentic AI could significantly enhance customer service by providing personalized travel recommendations, handling bookings, and managing itineraries. It could also streamline operations for travel companies through automated processes such as baggage handling, flight scheduling, and real-time updates, ultimately improving efficiency and customer satisfaction. Responsible AI: Responsible AI emphasizes the ethical and accountable use of technology, ensuring AI systems operate fairly and transparently. For the travel industry, responsible AI can build trust with consumers by safeguarding privacy and data security, making unbiased travel suggestions, and ensuring equitable access to travel resources. Responsible AI can also help mitigate potential negative impacts, such as over-tourism and environmental degradation, by promoting sustainable travel options.' Hear More from Amadeus at Skift Data + AI Summit Rodrigo Acuna Agost offers a compelling case for how Amadeus is not only innovating at scale but doing so with a deep sense of responsibility.
